                                 ______

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 7, 2006

  Mr. MARKEY. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to say that this weekend 
Massachusetts crowned three state football champions all from the 
Seventh Congressional District.
  The Crimson Tide of Everett, led by Coach John DiBiaso finished the 
season a perfect 12-0 after a 35-6 win in the Division 1 title game to 
capture its second Super Bowl victory since 2003.
  Later that afternoon, the Wayland Warriors, led by their coach Scott 
Parseghian took to the same field and knocked off their opponent with a 
convincing 28-0 victory to take home the Division lA crown, finishing 
the season with an unblemished 13-0 record.
  Finally, the mighty Vikings of Winthrop, led by their coach Tony 
Fucillo, rallied to a 25-8 victory in the Division 2A championship game 
also finishing the season a perfect 13-0. This was a huge boost to a 
program and a school which only a few short years ago was facing 
possible elimination of high school athletics all together
  Each of these teams finished the season ranked among the top three in 
Massachusetts polls.
  Mr. Speaker, I offer my heartfelt congratulations to the communities 
of Everett, Wayland and Winthrop and their student athletes and coaches 
for their commitment to excellence in their sports and for their hard-
earned, well-deserved championship seasons.
